OMAHA, Neb. -- A Robertsdale, Ala., man who told police he had sex in two states with a 15-year-old Nebraska girl he met online has been indicted on federal charges in a case that prompted an Amber Alert, the U.S. Attorney's Office said today.

Robert Olney, 29, of Robertsdale faces charges of transporting a minor with the intention of engaging in sex and traveling across state lines to have sex with a minor, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Omaha said. He could face life in prison if convicted.

Olney was identified in a story from The Associated Press as being from Schenectady, N.Y. A search of public records by the Press-Register found references to Olney and his family members in Schenectady. His Social Security number, as well, was issued in New York.

Jan Sharp in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Omaha, however, said Olney's current address is in Robertsdale. And the complaint against Olney spells out that he left Alabama to go meet the girl and that they were traveling across the country to return to Alabama.

Court records don't list an attorney for Olney. He was being held today in the Pulaski County, Ark., jail. Sharp said Olney would soon be brought back to Nebraska.

Olney also faces charges in Brown County, Neb., of kidnapping and child enticement. Prosecutors said they haven't decided yet whether to pursue both cases.

Court documents say Olney drove from Alabama to Nebraska to pick up the 15-year-old girl. They left Ainsworth on July 14 and surrendered the next day to police in Little Rock, court documents say.

An affidavit by an FBI agent assigned to the case states recalls an interview with Olney:

During this interview, Robert Olney stated that he met M.M. on the internet. Robert Olney stated that he drove from Alabama to Ainsworth, Nebraska to get M.M. and return with her to Alabama. Robert Olney stated that he had previously mailed M.M. a cell phone and that he used this cell phone to contact her when he arrived in Ainsworth, Nebraska to pick her up.

Robert Olney stated that he and M.M. traveled from Ainsworth, Nebraska to Valentine, Nebraska, where they stayed in a hotel and had sexual relations. Robert Olney stated that he and M.M. then drove to a hotel located just south of Kansas City, Missouri where they engaged in sexual relations. Robert Olney stated that he knew the entire time that M.M. was 15 years of age. During interviews conducted of M.M., she confinned that the above sexual relations occurred.

Olney told police, according to the affidavit, that the 2 had sex in motels in or near Valentine, Neb., and Kansas City, Mo., during their trip.

Brown County Attorney David Streich said Olney has a relative in Alabama and may have planned to live there with the girl.(This report was compiled by the Press-Register using information from The Associated Press and other sources.)
